Pro-inflammatory cytokines increased in the cortex following MCAo and were decreased by iNO treatment. A–C Quantification of IL-6, TNF-α, and MMP-9 levels measured in the plasma using ELISA. D–G Quantification of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MMP-9 mRNA measured in the ipsilateral hemisphere in the indicated groups, expressed relative to the corresponding contralateral hemisphere. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001; Kruskal–Wallis p: 0.0006 (A) or one-way ANOVA (B–G); n = 4–8 per group
